TRAP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. May 4, 1909.

Ispplication filed September 279, 1908. Serial Ho. 455,272.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, FRANK JUTRASH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Law rium, in the county or Houghton' and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Traps and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionoi the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same. i

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in traps and moreparticularly to that class adapted to be used in connection with sewersand other drainage points and my object is to provide a device of thisclass, whereby the usual form of bell trap may be dispensed with.

A further object is to provide a device of this class which may beplaced in a cellar and attachments applied thereto for draining water orthe like from the floor of the cellar.

A still further objectis to provide means for closing the drainageopening into the cellar when the trap is being flushed from a dill erentsource i A still further object to provide a suitable seal for the trapto prevent sewage gases from returning the'rethrough.

A still further object is to provide a suitable valv'efor closing thatend of the trap connected with the sewer and astil further object is toprovide means for gaining access to the trap, whereby the same may becleaned.

Other objects and advantages will be here inafter referred to and moreparticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application,Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved trap in its assembledposition. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is an end elevationof the trap. Fig. l isa similar view of the opposite end of the trap.Fig. 5 is a longitudinal central sectional view through the trap,showing the various parts thereof in position to be assembled. Fig. 6 isa plan view of an exten sion for the trap. Fig. 7 is a bottom plan viewof a perforated cover plate for that portion of the trap employed fordraining cellars or other subways. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the sinkemployed in connection with the trap for drainage purposes in thecellar, and, Fig. 9 is a transverse sectional view through f the trap initsassembled line x'w, Fig. 5. f it indicates the-body of my improvedtrap, which is preferably oblong and terminates at its opposite ends inconnections (Z and f, the connection dbeingadapted to be attached 5 toclosets, sinks, etcj, placed at suitable points in a building and theconnection f'is 1 adapted-to be connected to a sewer or other suitabledrainage at a point between the connections d and i The body-a isextended downwardly .to

. osition as seen on form a sealing chamber a, a wall ic'being extendeddownwardly from the upper edge of the "body to a point adjacent thelower portion of the chamber a, below which the substance entering thetrap from the connection d must pass on its way to the sewer, and as thelower edge of the wall Zr. is below the level of the lowermost portionsof the connections d and f, a perfect seal will be formed in the trapand sewer gases prevented from returning through the trap.

' At a suitable point between the wall 7:- and y the connection islocated a clack valve 71, I which is hingedly secured in position andwill prevent any return flow of the sewage I into the trap after thesame has once passed. beyond the valve.

}' i W hen the trap is used in connection with i a building, it ispreferably located in the cellar, where a cellar is provided and inorder to utilize the trap for draining the cellar, that portion of theupper edge of the trap between l the wall it and an air yent C is leftopen and provided with a tapered seat Z, in which is adapted to extend asink m and over the sink is disposed a perforated cover G and by placeing the cover G flush with or slightly below the cellar floor, any wateror other lluid that may be deposited on the cellar floor, will readilypass through'the cover and into the tra 'lhe central portion ofthe sinkthis provided with a domelil e extension 17., through the apex of whichis formed an opening 1? an d by extending the projection n a distanceabove the floor of the sink, dirt or other foreign particles will beprevented from readily fpassing into the trap and to more readily lprotect the opening r, a bell n is fixed to the 1 cover G and extendsover the extension n provide a passage and is of such size as toentirely around the extension and over the upper end thereof.

To revent the sewage entered into. the trap t rough the connection (1from passing through the opening 1' and entering the cellar,

. I provide a ball valve 0, which is ada ted to be located in theextension n and is eld in position-to readily raise and close the openmg1' by means of awire or other form of frame 1); H

That portion ofthe body between the connectionf and wall 1:- isalsopr'ovidedwith an opening 'i, whereby access'may be had to theinterior of that portion of the body surrounding the valve (i, so thatthe trap at this point maybe readily cleaned,a cover 'G being pro videdat this point, which is held in position I over the opening 7: by meansof. bolts g.

Instead of' lacing the sink dire'ctly'in en'- gagement wit the seat I,an extension I) may e provided and secured to flanges ef, surroundin theseat Z, saidex't'ension being'p'rovided with a seat h, atits upper edgeto receive the'sink m, the, extension bjbeingsecured to the flange e bymeans of bolts e,

while the cover G is secured to a flange e at the upper edge of'theextension.

,By providing tlgigextension, the trap will operating not in use.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a very cheap and economicalform 'of'trap and one that can be used without employing the usual orwell-known fo'rmof bell trap and it will further be seen that myimproved trap therewith when the extension is I may be installed inpractice at any point within a building or on the exterior thereof andit will likewise be seen that in view of the few elements employed inconstructingthe eflicient 1n opera-.

trap, said trap will be ve tion and may be readi y dissembled forcleaning purposes.

What claim is: I i

1. A device of the character described comprising a body having opposedend connections and a depressed chamber arranged intermediateofsaid-connections, a wall having its upperend arrangedat the upper edgeof said body and its lower end arranged near I the bottom of saiddepressed chamber, a valve arranged intermediate of said wall and one ofsaid 'connections,-and an extension ap-- plied to the upper edge of saidbody andia "sink arranged 1n said'extension and provided with a valve.

2. A device of the character described comprising a body having opposedend connections and a depressed chamber arranged intermediate of saidconnections, a wall hav-v ing its upper end arranged at the upper edgevof said bod and its lower end near the bot. tom of sai depressedchamber, a valve arranged intermediateofsaid Well and one of saidconnections, an extension applied to the upperedge of said bodyandprovided with a compartment opening into one of said connections andasink-seated in said extension and having); valve seated centrallytherein, said sink having a-housing or hood arranged above said valve. 7

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses. v
